TITLE
KoalaDT - Commodore 64 Koala painter datatype
VERSION
43.0
AUTHOR
Written (or rather composed) by Lars Malmborg (glue@df.lth.se).
The datatype is based on the example by Andreas R. Kleinert.
(Aminet:dev/c/C_V43-DT.lha)
The recognition is made with a program by Michal Letowski.
(Aminet:dev/misc/MakeDT-1.2.lha)
The rendition is based on code by Pasi 'Albert' Ojala.
(Aminet:gfx/conv/C64Gfx12.lha)
DESCRIPTION
KoalaDT is simply a datatype for the AmigaOS 3.x with which one
can display pictures from Commodore 64 in Koala painter format.
A problem is that the images contains no proper header.
The matching is done with the length of the file (10003 bytes),
and a the first two bytes (load address for Commodore 64) beeing
$00, $60. (If you have pictures you know are in Koala painter
format but aren't recognised, you'll have to alter the first two
bytes into $00, $60.)
To see it in action, make sure you have it installed the next
time you browse and go to http://www.ludat.lth.se/~dat93lma
Click on Amiga and check out the Pink Panther at the bottom of
the page. Only Amiga makes it possible!
